Continuity Discrepancy
Due to the pronounced scheduling problems with the release of the "Superman: Last Son" storyline, a line of dialogue in Action Comics Annual #11 is incorporated ("I even got to meet Robin.") which insinuates that the invasion of Zod's army takes place after Chris receives his red-sun watch, which places the events of Superman #664, 668, and 673 and all of Christopher Kent's other appearances chronologically between panels of Action Comics #846 (despite the fact that the latter was released earlier).
To explain the discrepancy, editor Matt Idelson theorized in an interview that "after the last panel of Issue #846, Page 9, Clark, Lois, and Chris stepped out for lunch. Several weeks passed by, during which Clark and Lois struggled with raising Chris, Chris went to school, met Robin, helped the third Kryptonian, etc., and then, on an off-day from school, Chris, Clark, and Lois happened to all wear the same outfits they were wearing on Page 9 of #846 (they're extremely organized, methodical people, and Chris imitated his "parents") and took another trip to mom and dad's office, wherein Zod attacked."

Famous quotes containing the word continuity:
“The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To “see the light” too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
